Confederate Memorial Day Montgomery, Alabama 2016

This was sent to me by a very good friend who is big into Confederate history and preservation. This is an account of incident that occurred today at a Confederate Memorial Day gathering in Montgomery, Alabama. I doubt we'll see this on the MSM.

==================================

Gentlemen,

I send this report of an incident that occurred at the State Capitol Confederate monument this morning.

I'd say over a hundred people gathered for the annual observance. The reenactor contingent consisted of a Confederate makeshift Color Guard to post the Colors, and four men from Semple's Alabama Battery (plus myself). For the past several years I have taken it upon myself to have the CMP cannon on hand for the salutes because there is never any infantry to speak of to fire the salutes at the end of the program. Two or three men (God bless them for participating) firing assorted long arms is weak at best. A weekday is not an easy time for most folks to get off work and even a state holiday on a Monday is not a good day for such things I know, but it is after all, only once a year.

Anyway, the ceremony went on as usual with speakers and music and flags everywhere, including the four flags Bentley had ordered taken down... These flags, privately owned (by the men who privately purchased them in the first place) flying just for the ceremony on small flagpoles at the corners of the monument where they had once flown on 30' turn of the century style flagpoles.

During the part of the ceremony set aside for a microphone handed around for anyone in the crowd to proudly proclaim his or her ancestor and his Unit, the disruption began. Five or six protesters, all black, dressed in black, two males and three or four heavy set females marched on the north side of the monument chanting something about "freedom" and holding signs saying "Down with the Klan" (no argument here) and "Confederate terrorists" (give me a break), etc. As they turned the corner of the monument the lead woman spat upon the corner flag; then she spat upon the monument! In a raised voice I asked her if that made her feel good. She ignored me. A white lady was asking God to forgive them, "for they know not what they do" to which one black terrorist was mouthing back to her in a language that wasn't English.That's when I noticed she was carrying an automatic pistol open carry style, So was at least one other woman protest or I observed. Then the rear of their column was brought up by a fat black man wearing a bandoleer of shotgun shells and holding a full size pump shotgun at the ready! Several people started calling 911 (There were NO police on hand for our ceremony, not even Capitol Police to my knowledge; Where were they?). These terrorists then turned abruptly around and started marching back where they came from and down the Capitol grounds hill to the sidewalk, yelling and chanting all the while, being closely followed by a number of us who were glad to see them go but weary of what might happen next.

Finally, after about 20 minutes the police showed up. Someone said the delayed response was due to a hostage situation going on in another part of town. So Montgomery can only deal with one situation at a time? Anyway, when the police finally arrived they arrived in full force. I counted at least 13 cops but I'm sure there were more; some were City Police; some were Capitol Police; and some were State Troopers. They took the shotgun away from the black terrorist and arrested him (About half the officers were black, and from what I observed they did their jobs and were very professional about it), but allowed the other pistol packin' terrorists to keep their sidearms. I heard the "spitter" tell the two arresting officers, who were black, that "y'all should let the white cops do this dirty work." They arrested a white man too. He was a motorcyclist with bandanna, etc. I don't know why they arrested him. He seemed to be doing nothing wrong that I could tell.

Meanwhile we finished the ceremony, complete with our cannon firing three loud salutes; and then Taps played but it was not to think about what had just taken place.

I saw no TV cameras (They rarely cover us anymore like they used to... but bet they will be there next year in force!). I saw a few men with professional cameras but they could be private photographers for all I know. I did see one reporter from the Montgomery Independent who was there. I hope he was there for the disturbance because I know him to be a straight shooter (which is why his paper is "independent" and not part of the Propaganda Ministry.

I tell you all this to ask you to stand up for our ancestors because it seems to me that the PC crowd has now ramped up to become the terrorist crowd. This to me is the inevitable result of lo these many years of not bad research; not lack of research; but DELIBERATE distortion of all our country's history, in order to pursue contemporary agendas and in the process destroy our country... which may be part of the agenda, I'm just sayin'...

Accordingly, I ask you to join us next year at the State Capitol at the Confederate monument IN FORCE for Confederate Memorial Day. I don' t know about you but I am sick and tired of being sick and tired...

Hi Brock,Thanks for the post. It is now almost May and the beginning of June is the birthday of Jefferson B. Davis. The 3rd of June that is (My birthday also!!..small side note!). I recall going back to my younger years that besides being the birthday of Jefferson B. Davis it was also noted as a "Confederate Memorial Day!!" 'Love the photo of the assemblage!! Right On!! With the weather warming up the "Flags will Fly!!!!!" I sport mine whenever I can...I have a yacht pennant size Confederate Jack Battle flag that I trail behind me under Canopy when I Skydive!!! So far no one has given me any flack....Yet. Also, if your state does not require a license plate on the front of your vehicle (like California) then by all means fly a "Confederate Flag plate!!!! I Do!! Back when I lived in Sampson County, me and every red blooded, red neck, God-Fearin', grits an' biscuits raised, whiskey drinkin', gun totin', honor yer elders, Southern by the Grace of God, Pick-up driven' person (both men and women) had a Confederate Flag plate on the front of their Truck!! Got Confederate Flags....OUTLAW!!!III%,skybill-out

I have been saying for many many years that the South had the right to leave the Union. The Union is a contract. The North had broken the contract. But I am also happy that the South is a part of the USA. But that is no reason to de-legitimize the South.

==============================My third great grandfather was an Ensign in the Revolutionary War, and saved his unit's flag after being wounded at the Battle of Brandywine. He was also at Kingston (Kinston), Wilmington, Charleston, Two Sisters and Augusta. He was at the defeat at Brier Creek and also Bee Creek.

My second great grandfather was killed in action on May 3, 1863 at the Battle of Chancellorsville.
=============================
My great grandfather and great uncle knew all the men in the "Civil War Requiem" video as they were part of the 53rd NC which was the sole unit defending Fort Mahone. (Fort Mahone was named "Fort Damnation" by the Yankees) *Handpicked men of the 53rd (My great grandfather was one of these) made the final, night assault at Petersburg in an attempt to break Grant's line. This was against Fort Stedman which was a few miles to the slight northeast. They initially succeeded, but reinforcements drove them back. This video is made from photographs which were taken the day after the 53rd evacuated the lines the night before to begin the retreat to Appomattox. I have many more pictures taken by the same photographer, one of these shows a 14 year old boy and the other is the famous picture of the blond, handsome soldier with his musket.
===========================
*General Gordon promised the men a gold medal and 30 days leave if they accomplished their task and many years after the War my great grandfather wrote General Gordon, who was then governor of Georgia about this incident. They exchanged several letters which I have framed. See first link below.

He was a drummer boy in the WBTS, survived the War only to die a few years later. He was caught in an ice storm on his way home, but instead of seeking shelter, continued on his horse until the end. His clothes had to be cut off and he died a few days later.

Thank you

I would just like you to know how so very glad I am that I found your blog. I have learned more history from you and the many links that you post than I have from reading all my history books. I can never thank you enough for the education you are freely giving me. It is priceless. And eye opening.

Many times I will not comment, but that does not mean I am not reading and learning.

You sir, are an educator. Thank you.

Good morning Mr. Townsend,

Just to let you know I have finally finished that massive tome on General Lee. I never knew 1/10th of what a great man he was. No wonder the South is so proud of him! So sad that we have few men of his caliber today. We need them desperately. I have learned more history through you and your blog than I thought I could ever learn. I am very grateful to you. Thank you so much for taking time to answer my e-mail. And thank you for your blog and for opening my eyes.

".......So good to hear from you! And also so pleased you are converting more of us Yankees! You have no idea how many people you have taught. And how many are so grateful to you for showing us the truth."

Your faithful friend,

Phylis

==============================

I have also learned from Brock Townsend and two nurses lately, that appreciation expressed by someone for whom you have great respect overwhelms the lack of appreciation by some from whom you expect it. I believe that we cannot really know which small bit of help makes the life-saving difference. ﻿I may have learned more real American history on Brock's blog than in 20 years of government schooling.

I have learned more history from you than all the years I was supposed to be in school (and not out hunting or fishing).

==============================

I really must say, I like thousands of others have said, your blog is the best out there and with all of your history and experience, you should run for *president. I look forward to reading your blog every day and every day I learn from you. Thank you for the time you put into this effort .

Sincerely,

Scott Fitts

Hi Brock,

Ever since I picked up on your blog I "Knew" you were a "Gentleman of the South!" You lack the "Crassness" that is so prevalent in today's Sociopolitical arena but speak with the Firmness in Truth and Conviction of Right like the words of our Late Great President Jefferson Davis! That is Honorable.

I have been thinking about this for a while now. At first it was a very subtle notice, then it became larger as I saw more. Then it bloomed to me to be what it is. In your writings, in your Blog, Brock, "You" have written, posted and done more to eradicate the "Revisionist History" forced on us by the "Northern Aggressors,"BAR NONE!!!" The "Stars and Bars" fly High and Proud today even more thanks to your efforts!

Reading your post on 03 JUNE about the birthday of President Jefferson Davis and the "quotes" of his was the galvanizing statement! The first words of "His" you posted say so much, are timeless and can never be "Destroyed!" by any man! .......and those words were........

"Truth crushed to the earth is still truth still and like a seed will rise again."--Jefferson Davis (1808-1889)

In so many ways you and your efforts to keep and carry on the "Truth of the South" are the water and light of the Sun that nourish "That Seed" that Jefferson Davis speaks of! That "Seed" of "Southern Truth!" That cannot be vanquished because of efforts like Men as yourself!

Thanks for your selfless effort,

The "Stars and Bars" FLY!

Dear Mr. Townsend,

I wanted to write to thank you for the pleasure and education I have received from reading your blog "Free North Carolina". I can honestly say that FNC is one of the first sites I visit daily.

I am a northerner by birth yet I consider the vilification of all things "South" a true and tragic disgrace. Your work has enabled me to become more familiar with a culture that I admire, yet have never really been familiar with.

Keep up the outstanding work!

A friend north of the Mason-Dixon Line,

My good sir,

I have been reading your blog for years, filling-in the woeful gaps in my knowledge thanks to your efforts, and have been truly impressed with not merely the depth and breadth of the topics you broach, but the frank and honest way you deal with them.

I salute you.

You cannot imagine my immense delight at just reading the "Witting, intentionally, and willfully..." posted on your site, that you linked to Theo Spark's blog.

I'm the guy that wrote it and sent it to Theo a few days ago.

On both our behalves, thank you for posting it on your fine blog.

With warmest personal regards,

Rico
